A spy thriller built on distrust and deception, where a ragtag team of former intelligence operatives navigates a dangerous Moscow underworld hunting stolen plutonium while questioning everyone's motives.

Harry Palmer heads a private investigation business based in Moscow. His associates are Nikolai "Nick" Petrov, ex-CIA agent Craig, and ex-KGB Colonel Gradsky. They take on the job of finding 1000 grams of weapons-grade plutonium stolen from the Russian government, though they do not know the identity of their client.
